What we have already done
Dwyfor Cluster Network Action Plan 2018 / 2020
Cluster funds have enabled pharmacy sessions to be provided across clusters in the West. Advanced Clinical Pharmacists are undertaking hypertension clinics across clusters and also undertaking medication reviews within care homes across the area.
Similarly, cluster funds have supported the appointment of Musculo-Skeletal Advance Physiotherapist sessions in clusters across the West area to support increased demand on GPs
Future Priorities for the Cluster
Implement an ANP led Home Visiting Service within the Dwyfor cluster
